The Kicks Band is the region’s only nonprofit jazz arts organization serving all ages from all walks of life. Annually, we host over 20 activities promoting the jazz arts, attracting over 7,000 attendees. For many in our diverse audience, it's their first experience seeing a live, professional jazz band. We host summer jazz band camp for all ages, HS jazz band festival, free summer park concerts, formal jazz arts concerts, an August jazz festival, Big Band Bash, and much more. Founded in 1975, as a once per month reading band, we have grown to become the leading jazz arts organization in our region. The Kicks Band is governed by a diversified board of directors.
